Network Model
The way that networks are constructed and connected. The connection are physically and electrically made . It would be the communication path between machines . In Plus Expressway Berhad , the machines are constructively using a card (TouchnGo) ,a tag machine (SmartTag) and the newest,RFID tag.
Peer-to-peer
A peer-to-peer (P2P) service is a decentralized platform whereby two individuals interact directly with each other, without intermediation by a third-party. Instead, the buyer and the seller transact directly with each other via the P2P service. Some peer-to-peer services don't involve an economic transaction, such as buying and selling, but they do bring together individuals to work on joint projects, share information or communicate without intermediation.

There is a greater risk that the provider of the service may fail to deliver, that the service will not be of the quality expected, or that the buyer may not pay. This extra risk is often defrayed by reduced transaction costs and lower prices. Often, businesses are created with the intent of facilitating P2P transactions and reducing risk for both buyer and seller. The majority of P2P services today are offered online. A peer-to-peer network is designed around the concept of equal peer nodes, simultaneously functioning as both "clients" and "servers" to the other nodes on the network.

Not just by using the highway that they build, also the service that are they making which are connected and become more useful for the users.
Client-server network
A client-server network involves multiple clients, or workstations, connecting to at least one central server. Most data and applications are installed on the server. When clients need access to these resources, they access them from the server. Servers often have private user directories as well as multiple public directories.Client-server networks tend to have faster access speeds because of the large number of clients they are designed to support. The clients are allowed to function as workstations without sharing any resources. It is easier to upgrade software applications and files because they are held on one single computer. System-wide services can be provided through the server software. Security is enhanced on a client server network because the security is handled by the server . In Plus Expressway Berhad , we are using Ada service server network , which is domains such as avionics and defense where reaching the highest levels of software reliability is imperative.
